So I'm sitting home for the 4th day of my isolation due to covid and I've been watching this program. I've been mildly amused in the past watching the show about the alligator hunting but I'm not so sure about this snake hunting.

Their vehicle issues are getting to be a little cliche and the whole Santeria thing is making me roll my eyes.

So the snakes are weighing between 90 and 145 lb yet these guys are carrying the satchels around like they're nothing.

I'd like to hear your guys take on the show.

Alligators are fun to watch but viewership was slipping so enter the snake. Not nearly half as good and suprised they still show it.

I enjoy the alligator hunting, not so much the snake hunting.

I try not to watch scripted reality shows featuring stereotypically filthy illiterate non-urban Americans.

These shows are overtly insulting and only aired so some elitist jackasses in New York can feel superior about themselves.

Those weights are bullshit.
No way a 10ft snake weighs 140lb
I think they’re putting a 1 in front on the actual weight

We've had it on for a couple of hours. It's so obviously completely staged.

The fat guy that made the snake gaiters out of palmettos almost made me turn it off.

I'd rather watch a real-time PURGE in Chicago or New York!

I agree....I couldn't imagine carrying a 140lb snake in a pillow case strung over my shoulder.

Going to post the same thing. The weights they show are ridiculously inflated.

Not sure why they have to catch them live.

I weighed 145 pounds when I went to boot camp.

NO WAY would I fit in a pillow case.

The palm frond snake gaiters were pure genius.  Good thing snakes only bite the shin.

and beat...

You tuned out too quickly.  Those palmettos didn't do any good for the snakes, but his difficult urination due to an enlarged prostate was relieved.

That's the only legitimate part; you can't sell the skins, if they rot before you get them to the buyer. Live snake = fresh skins.

The show is goofy, but I love snakes so I watch it sometimes just to see them.

I was holding a friends 10 foot Retic Python last weekend. He weighed about 15-20 lbs. He was very lean and muscular. Not a fatty snake.

I have not seen this show/the people/snakes in it lol

Edited pic of me holding Thor.

I used to love Swamp People until the producers got Ignorant.
Now I have to watch Serpent Invasion.

So someone here owes me $6.99. Reprobate pay up
ETA Those guys have bigger balls than I do.
I would never do that with my hands. I would have my Benelli M4 loaded with 4 shot

I was watching it up until they started with the "rival group stealing our snakes" shit.

It started reminding me of Mountain Monsters.

I actually like them catching the snakes better than the gators. I did find it stupid on the weight of the snakes, especially just throwing a couple over your shoulder and carrying them back to the vehicle when they all supposedly weigh over a hundred pounds each.
